An open letter to motorists who dislike cyclists

I just found this link as posted to our local club forum and thought it worth posting here, too.

Definitely! I'm going to be borrowing some of the ideas for my letter to the editor... we've had a recent fatality (and it's a small town, people notice) and there's people thinking, at leats for now, and I know some of them are still thinking "but gosh, why was he on the road??" (not that there is a sidewalk there... but still that "he should have known better, cars are dangerous!" complacency)

Excellent reference.

Thanks for posting it~

Good letter. In the short amount of time that I have been riding on the roads, I'm amazed not only at how dangerous drivers are towards me, but to themselves and other drivers. They are in such a hurry to get past me that they almost get in head on collisions with oncoming traffic. Maybe I'll carry copies of that letter with me, and hand them out to these drivers when I eventually catch up with them.

I love it!!! I should print it out and keep in my jersey to pass out to folks that share "their" comments when sitting at a red light!!!!
